This is a breaking story with details still emerging. I ask for your prayers for the surviving missionary and the families of both of these fine young men.

Prayers go out. I mean it's not like Mormon missionaries are hard to spot. So if this was a robbery they don't carry much money. You don't suppose it could be an anti Mormon hate crime

That poor young man. We will be praying for both of the missionaries and their families, as well as their faith community.

It can't be a hate crime; a black guy was reported to have done the shooting so obviously it can't be religiously or racially motivated.

I shall pray for those involved in this incident. I am not Mormon but that doesn't matter. What does matter is someone died in preaching the word to those who need it. We may differ in theology but it is the blood of Jesus that saves us not denomination.

More likely the kid died so some gang banger could pass his initiation.

What a terrible tragedy! I will certainly pray for the recovery of the injured missionary, and for the repose of the soul of the murdered one. Condolences go out to all their families and friends.

I see these guys around a lot and have to admire them for their work. Sometimes they go into neighborhoods that are not very safe. It almost surprises me that more of them aren't victimized.

I assume these kids were white. Shot by a black man? Gee, it couldn't be a hate crime. Just imagine though if some of farrakhan's followers were shot or killed by a white guy. The national media would be screaming about it.

Very sad. I'm not a Mormon but I have nothing but respect for the dedication they show in witnessing for their beliefs.

Prayers for him and especially his family.

Definitely not a hate crime. Black on white and against those evil religious extremists.
